In vivo PET Imaging of Gliogenesis After Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
In vivopositron emission tomography of neuroinflammation has mainly focused on the evaluation of glial cell activation using radiolabeled ligands. However, the non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammatory cell proliferation ...
Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Malignant Melanoma Microenvironment
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
The role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in cancer progression has been uncovered in recent years. ILCs are classified as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 ILCs, which are characterized by the transcription factors necessary for ...
On the molecular origins of the ferroelectric splay nematic phase
(Nature, 2021-08-16)
Nematic liquid crystals have been known for more than a century, but it was not until the 60s-70s that, with the development of room temperature nematics, they became widely used in applications. Polar nematic phases have ...
Cation Effect in the Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Coumarate Ionic Liquids and Acrylic UV-Coatings
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
Chromate free corrosion inhibitors are searched for to mitigate the economic loss caused by mid-steel corrosion. Here, we show metal-free organic inhibitors having free coumarate anions that can be used either as direct ...
Retinal Thickness Predicts the Risk of Cognitive Decline in Parkinson Disease
(Wiley, 2021-01)
Objective This study was undertaken to analyze longitudinal changes of retinal thickness and their predictive value as biomarkers of disease progression in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD).
Methods Patients with ...
Shortcut-to-Adiabaticity-Like Techniques for Parameter Estimation in Quantum Metrology
(MDPI, 2020-11-03)
Quantum metrology makes use of quantum mechanics to improve precision measurements and measurement sensitivities. It is usually formulated for time-independent Hamiltonians, but time-dependent Hamiltonians may offer ...
Comparison between Energy Simulation and Monitoring Data in an Office Building
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)
One of the most important steps in the retrofitting process of a building is to understand its pre-retrofitting stage energy performance. The best choice for carrying this out is by means of a calibrated building energy ...
Polymorphism in Non-Fullerene Acceptors Based on Indacenodithienothiophene
(Wiley, 2021-07)
Organic solar cells incorporating non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have reached remarkable power conversion efficiencies of over 18%. Unlike fullerene derivatives, NFAs tend to crystallize from solutions, resulting in bulk ...
A Systematic Approach to Assess the Activity and Classification of PCSK9 Variants
(MDPI, 2021-12-18)
Background: Gain of function (GOF) mutations of PCSK9 cause autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia as they reduce the abundance of LDL receptor (LDLR) more efficiently than wild-type PCSK9. In contrast, PCSK9 ...
Analysis of Tug of War Competition: A Narrative Complete Review
(MDPI, 2021-12-21)
Tug-of-war (TOW) is an internationally played activity including professional and amateur athletes, defined as early as 4000 years ago (as a rope-less version) in the artwork on Egyptian tomb engravings, and is played as ...
